A protocol was developed for the testing of blood stage vaccines against Plasmodium falciparum using Peruvian Aotus vociferans and the Indochina I/CDC strain of the parasite. Three different fused polypeptide vaccines containing elements of the ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen molecule combined with Freund's complete and Freund's incomplete adjuvants were tested to determine their ability to protect against overwhelming infection following challenge with this highly virulent strain of P. falciparum, and to invoke antibody responses as measured by a standard indirect immunofluorescence technique. Nine of 14 immunized animals exhibited some protection. Presented are the test procedures developed for the conduct of such trials with New World monkeys and the analysis of results that led to the identification of variables selected for study in future trials.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

D010963 Plasmodium falciparum A species of protozoa that is the causal agent of falciparum malaria (MALARIA, FALCIPARUM). It is most prevalent in the tropics and subtropics. Plasmodium falciparums,falciparums, Plasmodium
D005620 Freund's Adjuvant An antigen solution emulsified in mineral oil. The complete form is made up of killed, dried mycobacteria, usually M. tuberculosis, suspended in the oil phase. It is effective in stimulating cell-mediated immunity (IMMUNITY, CELLULAR) and potentiates the production of certain IMMUNOGLOBULINS in some animals. The incomplete form does not contain mycobacteria. Freund Adjuvant,Adjuvant, Freund,Adjuvant, Freund's,Freunds Adjuvant
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001029 Aotus trivirgatus A species in the family AOTIDAE, inhabiting the forested regions of Central and South America (from Panama to the Amazon).
